Mathematical models for regeneration in biological model organisms
- Angela Stevens (University of Münster)
Abstract
Flatworms are among the biological model organisms for regeneration. Severe cutting and grafting experiments still result in the regeneration of a complete and functioning flatworm. So far, most mathematical models could not account for these basic experiments, without adaptations for each setting. A new model is suggested and analyzed, which covers the central regeneration experiments, while not changing the structure of the equations. Dynamic boundary conditions play a crucial role here.
